The holiday fun begins December 5 at CYBERCHASE Online with the mini music video and downloadable original song, "When Penguins Fly," and a preview of "Harry's New Year's Eve Countdown. Episode Description: When Penguins Fly (episode #602) Penguins can't fly - or can they? In Cyberspace, on one special night each year, the penguins of Penguia take flight to deliver gifts to young borgs across the virtual universe. For the first time ever, the CyberSquad's friend Fluff is participating, and invites his pals Matt, Jackie, Inez and Digit to join him in the impressive Penguin March. But Hacker, up to his usual ruinous tricks, creates a giant ditch in front of the Ice Palace and traps all the penguins in its icy depths! The CyberSquad must get the penguins ice-shoes so they can climb out before midnight, but how many do they need? With too many to count, the answer lies in the kids' ability to sample the penguin population to make a close estimate. Can the CyberSquad save the penguins and their favorite holiday too?? SEASON 6 LINKS:
 The four-week SUPER CYBERCHASE SCIENCE event beginning January 14 links 20 encore episodes to online resources. Check out the 2008 stunt schedule here. The 2007 repeat was a strong ratings performer for several stations; a few who saw big moves are listed below:
"Come on! Let's build a tree house!" is a familiar childhood chant. Whether it's a tree house, deck or bookcase, just about every family has tackled simple construction projects involving measuring, calculating, problem-solving, and geometry. With such real-world concepts in mind, CYBERCHASE is launching the Builders' Math initiative to children on air, online and on the ground in communities nationwide beginning February 2008. The Builders' Math initiative features five programs, including three new episodes, a 3D building game at CYBERCHASE Online, and more.
